Photography

Photography can challenge.

Photography can move.

Photography can inspire.

I love light and the feeling it can give an image – I am totally committed to using available light.

I am committed to portraits that expose the essence and raw beauty of people and their environments, street work that captures the life and the mood of a city, abstract images that make the viewer think and form their own conclusions, and the environment; built and natural.

Photography should be engaging, confronting, challenging and intricately – sometimes painfully – beautiful, but never ‘pretty’.

“A good photograph leans more towards the technical, a great photograph leans more towards the emotional” – Australian photographer Tamara Dean

When you see my sculpture, I want your first response to be to run your hands over it – to feel the texture, to trace the lines and explore the curves and appreciate the change in materials and the marks left by the tools I have used.

My sculpture is for touching.

I am moved by the way light plays over the surfaces, by shadow and silhouette. I aspire to create works with an elegance and simplicity in their form.

“Where did I learn to understand sculpture? In the woods by looking at the trees, along the roads by observing the formation of clouds, in the studio by studying the models – everywhere except in the schools!” Auguste Rodin
